What inspired you to become a teacher, and what do you enjoy most about teaching your subject?

Hi! I am a veteran teacher with over 30 years of experience of working with children whether it be as an educator, assistant or tutor. I primarily worked in grades Kindergarten through fifth but have gained middle school experience as well. I retired in 2016 only to return in 2023 because I love working with students-especially in small groups or individually.

Iโ€™m a mother of a 15-year old daughter who has Aspergers and am a native to South Florida.

What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of the classroom?

I am involved in my church and groups linked to my church. I enjoy making jewelry and creating sticker designs using planners.

What was your favorite subject in school and why?

My favorite subject in college was speech and debate. I enjoyed taking topics, researching them, and defending them. Then taking the opposite stance on the same topic. It helped me to open my eyes and see lifeโ€™s perspectives.

Anything else we should know about you?

I own a cat named Priscilla Jean Presley. Prissy, for short.
